The\u00a0Flocktree\u00a0is a sculptural installation of a flock of pigeons cast in an expanding urethane foam supported and grouped by a collection of nesting aluminum frames. The interplay between the rigorous order imposed by the frames and the fluid organic shape of the flock raises questions about the way the viewer makes sense of collections of objects. The groupings of birds created by the frames form an octree<\/a>\u00a0structure.<\/p>\n

The Flocktree was made possible by the financial support of the ICE\u00a0program at UGA and installed in the courtyard at the Floor Group at 159 Oneta Street in Athens, GA. The Flocktree was created in collaboration with my brother Luke Cantarella\u00a0a scenic designer and artist living in Brooklyn, NY.<\/p>\n
